Fresh and Easy to close 2 Fresno locations

The owners of "Fresh And Easy" say they're closing several grocery store locations, including two in the Fresno area.

An employee at one of the stores told Action News the store at Tulare & R Street in Downtown Fresno and Shaw & Willow in Clovis are going out of business.

The Sacramento Bee reports five stores in Sacramento will close.

An investment firm is buying the Fresh And Easy stores from the parent company Tesco, Britain's largest retailer. Fresh & Easy has five stores in the Fresno/Clovis area and one each in Reedley, Lemoore, and Delano.
